State police to conduct sobriety checkpoints in Berks

The Reading barracks of the Pennsylvania State Police will conduct roving sobriety checkpoints in Berks County this weekend, Sept. 28-29, as part of the Checkpoint StrikeForce Initiative.

The program is designed to reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes and intoxicated drivers on state roads. Troopers will conduct roving patrols during this effort along with speed and aggressive driving enforcement.
